The Monteverde Cloud Forest is the next stop after La Fortuna for many travelers during their vacation to Costa Rica. There are a few different options to get from one area to the other, but we think this is the best one. The taxi boat taxi to Monteverde takes you across the beautiful Lake Arenal so you don’t have to travel around it. It’s a nice little extra adventure with breathtaking views! If you’re lucky and the day is clear, there’s no better way to see the Arenal Volcano.
Your taxi boat taxi transfer to Monteverde starts when your driver picks you up at your hotel in La Fortuna. They’ll take you to the dam, where you’ll board the boat to get to the other side of the lake. Please do note that getting off the boat on can be somewhat of an adventure itself, depending on the water levels. You’ll also have to carry your luggage to the van that will take you to your destination in Monteverde. For a more personalized experience where you’ll be able to receive more assistance, you may want to consider the private version of this transfer.
Once you are on the other side, you’ll start traveling up the mountains. Please be prepared, this can be a pretty bumpy ride, as the road is not paved yet. It’s definitely part of the experience! Soon, you’ll find yourself at your cozy hotel in the cloud forest, ready to discover your new home for the next few days.
